Quote:You're just going to keep ignoring the fact that the issue is their spring break, not that they are getting this awesome, fabulous, fun filled, free trip to Florida that you are trying to make it out to be, aren't you?

 

"Harbaugh also said that by practicing during Michigan's spring break, both winter finals weeks this semester will feature zero football -- allowing players to focus solely on their exams.

 

"Those will be discretionary weeks so our guys can focus and concentrate on finals," he said. "Then, we'll be outside, we'll be in Florida, we'll go to the beach. It'll be a good time for the team to connect and be together."

The trade off is fine for the student-athletes, especially when you consider the getting to spend a week in Florida part.
